Hi Jeremy, Deryck and All,
Just got back to South Africa, and before real life kicks in, I wanted to thank all involved in Wikimania - the local organizers, the awesome volunteers, the speakers and the delegates, and the foundation. (and a special thank you to WM DE for my trip!)
It was an incredible experience where friendship and community were heightened and reinforced. The African delegation, though small, is much stronger for it. Watch this space ;-)! And it is all due to being able to meet in a conducive and inspiring environment.
Thanks again, and I hope you all get some rest!
Warmest Isla

A big thank you to all volunteers at Wikimania Hong Kong! You guys did an amazing job, everything was so well organized. Even if it was a lot of work to bring the world into your city, it was worth it. I am sure everyone will agree that you made it "à la perfection"! And on the top, you are such happy and very kind people. It was an honor to meet you all.
WM Switzerland, thanks for the scholarship. Really appreciate. Deryck, high five buddy!!! JP aka Amqui, party animal. Adrienne, c'est aussi ta faute. Beach party, awesome. WM Hong Kong, you rock! Iberocoop, nice playlist as usual...
I had a really great time.
